- What up guys! So today I'm going to show you how to make some stickers
First off a thank you to Squarespace for sponsoring the video. If you need a domain, website, online portfolio, or store.. Make your next move with Squarespace.
So I have this note book with some of my drawings in it and I thought it would be cool to turn those into some black and white stickers.
I threw them on the computer on Illustrator. I used the pen, pencil, and blob tool to get the outline. then I threw it on a pink background so you could see the transparency, filled it in with white, and started erasing the white.
After I got them all done, I rearranged it on my art board to fit half real nice. I then added registration marks. These will be important later.. and you'll see why. But it's important to make them before you copy it over on the second half of the art board.
so then copy it. make one all black (by taking out the white) and the other one all white (by taking out the black). [you should be able to lay the black copy over the white and line it up with the registrations marks.. so check that now]
then make it all black. take out the pink background and print it on a transparent velum. I printed it out on the clear on so I could make a screen to Screenprint. I made a video that goes into more detail how to make a screen and you can see that here: bit.ly/2hjYHPo
Next I have this clear vinyl.. (I kept on calling it vellum smh) that I will be print on. "oooo see through" so I cut it in a sheet the size of the sticker sheet.
First think I used was acrylic paint; this chalk paint stuff.. And when I'm printing it, it would be nice to have like a clamp or something holding it down. For now we will just use Romney's hands. I did two passes annnnnd... it looks good.
I wanted to do a bunch of different sheets of these at the same time.. but I waited to long and the paint had dried in the screen.. Every where that the paint has dried it won't come out when you print it.
That sucked but I moved on and did the black next. I traced the registration marks so you can kind of see what I'm doing... With the black screen I'm just lining it up with the registration marks so its all lined up when I print the black.
So you can see here I don't have cute lil romneys hands holding down the screen.. I mean.. it helps.. but it's not completely necessary. As you can see it worked and it look prettttty gooowd.
I didn't want the black to dry in the screen so I washed it out immediately but you can still see it still kind of dried in the little details of the screen. I though maybe water based ink or paint wasn't the best idea so I though I would dry some oil based paint.
I wasn't having the best of luck with it. It kept like blowing out.. I tried it a couple times but it all suuuucked.
So I went back to what I know best, which is plastisol ink, which is like the standard t-shirt ink. The thing about it, is in order to cure the ink you have to put it in the oven or heat it up to like 360 degrees.
I printed the white first and it looked good. I threw that in the oven at 360 degrees for like 10 seconds. I thought I was good.. (but when I marked the registration mark and tried to line up the black screen I noticed the heat from the oven shrank my sticker sheet)
It doesn't look terrible.. but it wasn't what I wanted so I tried it again. But what I did is, I took the sheet and before I printed it I put it in the oven to pre-shrink it. printed it again, put it in the oven for only like 2 seconds, marked the registration marks, printed the black, and threw it back in the oven.
This time everything was looking good! How to screen print some stickers!
Now that I have a bunch of stickers.. I'm going to throw them up on my website if you wanna snag some.
Speaking of websites.. Another huge thank you to Squarespace for supporting this video. If you guys need a website, domain name, online portfolio, or store I would go with Squarespace.
Mostly because of how user friendly everything is! Before I was having a pretty difficult time to have a real simple and secure way to let people use credit cards and what not for an online store and.... square space came in clutch for me.

This guy always does dIY's with shit i dont even have lmao its really good tho i love watching it
Yahhh.. i should prolly take that more into consideration... but thanks so much:):) hah
Shmoxd oh my god you answered!!!! Much love man no shade.
yea like talent? because i feel you
True but if you want that nice shiny look you have to print glossy sticker paper or laminate a white sheet. Also normal matte sticker paper with no laminate doesn't mix well with water! Sweet tutorial Shmoxd!
:ariel: o
I want these but I'm too indecisive to actually stick them on something
I know the feels;)
Libra problems....
• Gg_Malie • IKR?
Sameee
I put them on something I think I’ll keep, and then I don’t use that anymore and feel bad
I was trying to think of a good sticker pun but I'm kinda stuck
Breezy Flame yeah they just dont stick man
I don't have a glue how to make one either
That's so corny I'll see myself out 😂
I love you guys so much...
Uggh guys, these are so tacky. This annoyed feeling is gonna stick with me all day. I can't believe you stuck this in the comments.
*These puns make me peel good*
**painstakingly makes stickers** _places on cereal_
Hahahah:)
I really love your art style. I'd love to see more merch from you, maybe a hoodie with an animal print like the wolf or the cat sticker. I'm ordering stickers right now!
nvm they are out of stock :(
Oooo yah I need to get on that merch:) and don't worry I got em back in stock. I'll print more tonight
There aren't any left right now. Could you please print more. They are sick.
What would u call this style? It’s something I want to learn
I'm not sure what to call it exactly, as every artist's style is unique to themselves. If you want to see more like this look at work done by sketchy tank, one of my favorite brands. Both styles use a lot of stippling (the small dot technique for shading) and smooth lines with varying widths. Good luck with your art!
I'm really sad that the sticker sheet is sold out but I'm also really happy bc that means people are supporting you and you know that's beyond amazing because you most definitely deserve it.
intro gets me every time
makenzie my name is Makenzie 🤔

Elena L. Good one imma subscribe to you
Here's how you can make your own stickers:
1. Skills you don't have
2. Equipment you don't have
It's that easy!
Haha easy as pie ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I love how your videos are actually tutorials, not just "buy this sticker paper, find what you want to print, and print it with your inkjet printer", good job 😁👍🏻
Love how you include your trial and error. The process is the best part !
I love how your videos aren’t just “print it on sticker paper” or “use t shirt transfers” it makes it so much cooler, I have so much respect for artists that do this themselves, it always inspired me to learn for myself!
One of my biggest disappointments as a printmaking major was not being able to take a screen printing class 😢 At least it's one of the easier printmaking techniques to learn at home. I love how these stickers turned out - I might have to try doing some of my own sometime!
Boy you got yourself into a sticky situation
pls stop
pls
No
Dude I’ve been waiting for this since I saw it on twitter
Melissa I saw it on insta!
Yeeee sorry it took me forrrrrevevvevevever
Finding your channel was probably the best thing that could have happened to us. I already run a small screen print company, but didn't realize how many of the materials and things I use on a day to day basis could be so versatile. A lot of inspiration has sparked after watching a couple videos, thank you my dood!
🙌🏻🙌🏻 love that you are willing to experiment! The print shop where I originally worked was not super down for it haha
The wolf drawing would make such a sick tattoo...
Doooooo iiiit:):)
Shmoxd okay in 4 years when im legally allowed to get a tattoo i will hsjsksl
wilson ! 2 years left
@@ella-cl7dq Bruh 2 years keep strong
I love the energy of your channel your humor and curiosity is very entertaining, I appreciate you showing us your process, the trial and error.
everything you touch turn out freakin amazing!🔥
Blushhhh* ☺️ thanks
I would love if you did a tutorial on how you use the programs to use to trace, color, etc your graphics.
I love the Frida sticker!!
Your creative choices are so simple creative and slick. I really admire your work, reguardless of the DIY aspect.
You should make a sketchbook tour you have some really creative drawings!
Ooooo that would be pretty fun.. I’ll have to draw some more. Also thanks:):)
I love that you took us through the entire process including all your trial and errors. I bought a sheet of stickers. Looking forward to sticking Them everywhere.
s/o to that mac demarco sample in that eevee track
Itssss goood
How do I find it online to listen to it?
@@Emilinethegemini i dont think it was a sample of mac demarco, i think it sampled the same thing that mac sampled. The original is from the 70's by shigeo sekito, here it is th-cam.com/video/Q8oS_B6IaKE/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=hatenachawan
but yeah the song that was in this video sampled that, idk where to find the song that was in this video
edit: the song that was used in this video: th-cam.com/video/zdh9OSlKIKk/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=Axian
I love Casey for enlightening us to your brilliance!! I can"t wait to see what you have to share with us!!
Saw that intro instantly subscribed!🌻😂
Imlaiah 7 same! XD

I mostly enjoyed watching you stick stickers to everything. Awesome!
Thinking of a pun about stickers im in a bit of a sticky situation i keep on thinking of some but they never stick guess i'll stick around and they might come back to me. snap chat gang were u at don't worry im not leaving you're stuck with me.

*You’re* stuck with me. Sorry, i’m a bit ocd and keep correcting people. Old habits die hard. Lol

Iris van Buuren I thought exactly the same

Yesssss! This was awesome another great video!
Jon 9lane the lady is Mexican artist Frida Khalo
The way you do all your stuff you make it look so flawless.
You’re really good at diys,you really stuck in my heart 💗
Mazie W Possible subscription
Omg when he says “cute lil Romney’s hands” I almost cried 💗😭💗 SO PRECIOUS
People who don't ~stick~ around to watch your videos are missing out on quality content
you're such an awesome creator and artist please never stop trying, experimenting, and documenting your work! it really motivates me to try new things and realize that there will never be a perfect run since everything takes lots of experimentation!
Definitely want to try this now.
These stickers are lovely!!! Thank you for this tutorial, I love how you always stick ;) your thought process in the description. So helpful! Looking forward to buying some stickers. Have a nice day!
Yoooo, you should figure out how to do scratch and sniff stickers, or like, puffy stickers.
Oh my!!! Yah!
Love what you do! If you don’t want your paint to dry out too fast between each sheets, you can just spread it back to the top of the screen with the squeegee (that way the screen would be covered with a thick layer of paint and it wouldn’t dry) 🙂
You just need to do that when the screen is not touching your sheet, like right after you take it off.
all these puns are gonna stick with me.. heh
I don’t understand how you don’t have more subs...Your channel is amazing! You’re so mellow, extremely talented and your music is super chill. Just found your channel and pretty much have been addicted to watching all your vids... thanks for the rad content.
So I’m into silk screen printing on shirts and i was just curious how you got your design inside the pocket of the t shirt featured at 7:25?
Soooo i screen printed a heat transfer and then just pressed it in there.. then flipped the shirt inside out and pressed it again from the inside...
I love that you show the WHOLE process, the mistakes and everything. I think a very important in the learning process and it's cool that you show it. Thanks for always uploading awesome content. Also, those drawings make for amazing tattoos. :)
These stickers are makin me peel good
Yaaaaas:):) that pun though
I love your drawings, the roses, skull and creepy vibe. Its cool
Would love to get one of your stickers as a tattoo they're bad ass love them 👌🏽 🔥💯
Yo! Awesome video! I’m a screenprinter so maybe I can give some advice when it comes to ink. plastisol may have worked but it will start to chip off over time because it needs to absorb into something rather than just sit on top of it. The best thing to do is add just a little bit of glycerine to your acrylic ink to keep from drying out. Make sure you ALWAYS keep the screen flooded to keep from getting those dry ink clogs in the screen. If you do get some take some scratch sheets and print on them a few times. The clogs usually blow out after a few passes with the squeegee.
Thanks again for an incredible diy video❤️🖤
In case you didn't know now, you have to "flood" your screen with the acrylic paint (so passing a layer of the paint over your design so it wont dry out) between prints. Acrylic paint dries pretty fast since it's water-based. It's good that you worked your way around that problem though. 👍
y u sooooo kewwwwlllll???
I love how you show your trial and error, you're not getting it perfect right off the bat. It makes me so much more inspired to try it for some reason????
Love it ❤️❤️ I'm new to this stuff and when I saw how to make stickers I haven't seen them made with screen printing before
Yah it's definitely not the easiest way.. but it's real fun:):)
This is the coolest! One of those things I never thought about, like... I just thought stickers were always printed onto vinyl adhesive. This is so hands-on and personal.
This is the exact style of sketchy T’s. Idk if you work for them or what because some of these are just like straight copies of their stuff
Yah it’s it super similar and I do take a lot of inspiration from sketchy... but he took lot from sailor jerry or any other artists. Originality is just putting your own spin of stuff duuuuuude. Everything’s been done😘
you are a gift, don't ever stop making these videos
I personally love your intro
Thanks:) it was pretty fun to make as well
Shmoxd My Mum loves that you do pictures of Frida Kahlo because she thinks she is the best artist because she suffered her whole life from physical pain & on her worst pain days she always dressed in her brightest colours. (I do too!)
Dude, you have the COOLEST art!! love it so much!!
chamber of reflection in the background :'))))
actually i think it just used a sample of the original shigeo sekito track that Mac Demarco sampled to use in chamber of reflection. (i mean he didnt really sample it he just used the same notes)
your voice and the chill music make the video so relaxing i love it. your videos are always amazing ahhhhh
Think of all the money you can make with this. . .
Just imagine
Opening commissions to making stickers for others and make money of it.
the aesthetic of your vids. love it
Can you show us how to make your beautiful face? I want one
Dude your art style is just like sketchytanks
For sure! Love his stuff:)
i didn't see a comment abt this or in the description but if you're curious abt that background music in the intro it's 'viola by eevee'
Thank you thank you:) I need to add that in the description
do you know to the name of the song in the end too?
I know this is probably really random but I love ❤️ the sticker hand getting pricked by the rose then it starts to bleed that one really spoke to me it’s just so pretty and amazing
My favorite thing about you TH-cam channel is how much you can Stick to an upload schedule. 😉
This video remind me of screen printing my own design on a shirt. The sticker look amazing and the design looks very amazing.
Bro i fucking love you
And I you 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
These are the sickest stickers I've seen made!
Oooo no im # 421 almost did not subscribe because funny how it was at 420 haha you are really good artist!! I love stickers but i suck at everything art related!! I have been really into drones and i need to be able to make stickers so they look cool lol thanks for sharing!! And best intro i have seen in a long time 👍👍 that is soo cool i think you could sell some of that!! And if you want i will unsubscribe if you really want to stay at 420? Let me know
This channel is so under rated! You are the best diy youtuber ever!!!
all these stickers and you still couldn't stick by me
I'm so glad I found this channel. The content is pure gold. Instant sub.
Him: *puts sticker in bowl*
*fills bowl with cereal and milk*
Also him: *puts sticker on cereal*
Me: *_triggered_*
Love how you show the trial and error part of things. Great video.
These better stick around in your store
Connor Elam your pfp is.. 🔥🔥🔥
Really appreciate the effort you put into your vids and descriptions, showing your trials and 'errors' and the fact you show more technical diys. I need the donkey, I need Frida, I need that three eyed cat, (and I'm not even a big fan of cats...). Could do with some 8x10/a4 prints too, so if you decide to do some 👍🏼
You're intro is the shit. Buuut won't complain if more twerking was added.
Happy camper, lovely spirt and the golden age would be really cool stickers to make
Would you consider making me some Pembroke Welsh Corgi stickers for a small fee?
My service 2year old puppy is a Corgi. And I would love stickers for envelopes and planners and etc...
TY4S, Pat from Arkansas and Isabella my service puppy 🐾🐾
That would be awesome! Right now I’m not taking on new projects though:S sorry. I would still love to see your lil corgi though😍😍
Intro always gets me so pumped for the rest of the video
An hour later and all the stickers are out of stock
Haha don't worry I got em back in stock:)
I'm going to go print some tonight haha
Aight thanks man :)
I can add them to my cart right now?? :O
Mary .Mary yo man i just bought soms like 30 mins ago check it out
You have officially become my favorite artist/ diy TH-camd
This whole time I thought it was pronounced "Shmoxed" instead of "Shmood" lmfao. Wow
I've always wanted to try screen printing and now that I've seen it done on stickers I REALLY want to try it!
bruh those sticker designs are soooo sick... so cool of u to not only make them available on ur shop but at such an affordable price too. im about to go buy em 👍
Him saying how cute Romney's hands are! ♡♡♡ God, they're so cute! And Romney is an awesome name.
Your videos have improved since your first few vids in terms of being informational. I love that your're very quality in your diys👌 Great job dude!
Your designs are awesome and perfect for tattoos. 😍
I really liked the video! I love all of your videos, and your art style is awesome. I also loved the little part in the song that had Mac Demarco's Chamber of Reflection in it
I would have never thought to screen print stickers, so cool! Also, if you add a little retarder (one company that makes it is Golden) to your acrylic paint, it will slow down the drying time and it probably won’t dry in your screen. Also, Golden makes a line of paints called “Open”- as in, the open time (the amount of time you have to work with your paint before it dries) is much longer than normal acrylics. Awesome video!
I’m obsessed with your videos now. And that shadow puppet doggy.
Him saying papapapappppaper and ststststttttsssstickers are one of the reasons why i subscribed
Watching your videos is when I'm at peace!
I swear you’re talented. You know how to do everything.
Dope video! Kinda reminded me to stick up for experimenting more with art.
props for including the whole process, roadblocks and all
It’s really cool seeing your process, all the trial and error ✌️
He's pretty cool tbh, found out he lives here in Utah, never thought people with his personality and style exsisted here in slc, so that's pretty rad
